You really need to check out King of Bagger racing.

Start engine. Start ride. No real need to let the engine idle, IMO.

This has nothing to do with the OP concern but it's Interesting that Harley race team in King of Bagger racing found a problem with the sump plug that is directly under the scavenging port. The sump plug is a tapered pipe thread and some cases the pipe tap was driven a bit deeper than others. This resulted in restricted scavenging due to the plug protruding too far into the case and restricting flow to the pump.
